Can we just talk about how much I love your posts?? Well, I do. And let me say what a blessing to have your daddy in your life :-). Yes, you definitely need a pocket knife. And you'll have to practice using it so effortlessly ;-). XOXO

I feel so fortunate to have your dad for a neighbor. I haven't seen him in a while. It's about time for those white shorts to come out isn't it? Pocket knives are so special. I have pockets knives from my grandfather, father and David's dad. They are precious to us.'night!KarenLadybug Creek

a pocket knive is a right of passage in my husbands family....usually around 5 or 6 years old the boys get one and they know that it is a tool...not a toy....they learn to use them properly....when my daughter was that age she wanted one too...so guess what her daddy did...he taught her about pocket knives and bought her one....great post....I love your Dad's hands

No my friend, I disagree. You weren't meant for another time. You were meant for this time to remind us to look beyond the trees to see and remember our own forest of memories we might have temporarily forgotten.DebbieP.S. There is a beauty in a man's hands that comes with time and hard work.P.P.S. I think your pocket knife is your words.

You LUCKY, LUCKY Lady... to have your Dad right there with you! To watch him pull out his pocket knife and show you the seeds:) Warms my heart and makes me miss my Daddy! Love your pictures! Have a blessed day, HUGS!

Oh Laura, what a blessing to get to run to get your camera and to get that perfect shot of your dear daddy! Aww, that is an amazing photograph my friend. My dad always had a pocket knife in his pocket, always. I have so many memories of him holding it just like your daddy, just doing stuff. My daddy had quite a collection of them. A man and his knife. I want one.

Beautiful, you gave me chills with this post! So many emotions and memories of my dad, and now my husband with their pocketknives. I think my husband needs to give one to our 18 year old son and continue the tradition. have a blessed weekend!Patty

Welcome

Welcome! White Spray Paint is all about enjoying the simple things in life. Whether I am writing about my adventures at the flea market, or writing my Dear Daughters' posts, or sharing a new Ranch Recipe, or tackling a new gardening project, I am usually laughing along the way and enjoying the journey. Why the name White Spray Paint? Because my mother taught me years ago in home decor, 'when all else fails Laura Ellen, spray paint it white'. It is a description of those simple pleasures that you will find here. Won't you join me? I hope so!Laura
